Anyone have info on the Corsair Force GT 240gb SSD?

[TemjinGold]

So I stumbled upon the Force GT and Force Series 3 SSDs by Corsair. The speeds are more than a match for the Vertex 3 and Corsair's sterling reputation for customer service is much more comforting to me than OCZ's... not so sterling rep. Problem is, they seem to be released but you can't get one anywhere (I can't even see a price!) and I'm hearing rumors of them having major issues with the Sandforce controller they used.

Does anyone have any info/reviews/etc. for this drive? I got all excited because I was resigned to either pay Intel's premium AND accept a much slower drive or suffer OCZ's customer support for the faster drive but a working Corsair would mean I don't need to compromise.

Everything using the SF2*** controllers is having an issue right now and we're working feverishly to resolve it. We were able to reproduce the issue and took some systems to SF with these issue last Thursday evening, June 2.

Please keep an eye on THIS THREAD and we'll keep you all updated on the SF issues.

I'll also post any additional info I get on the F3 GT as soon as I get it.

Thanks, Yellowbeard. I did see the thread shortly after and am glad you guys are making this a top priority. It's service like this that makes me trust Corsair products. I will definitely be getting either a Force Series 3 or Force GT 240gb as soon as you guys have the issues sorted out!

Also, I have been informed that this is completely separate from the Force GT and will not affect Force GT at all.

Is this regardless of brand? As in, is it affecting OCZ/OWC drives as well?

According to some online sources, yes.
